City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 25, 2010 Page 2 2 A. Resolution 10-033; Approving the Request for an Amendment to the Silver Lake Village 3 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Sign Plan to Allow for the Modification of Existing 4 Ground Signs and the Addition of One Directional Ground Sign. Applicant: St. Anthony 5 Retail Development. 7 Planning Commission Member Craig Poucher reported on the concept review and public hearing 8 held by the Planning Commission on the request for an amendment to the Silver Lake Village 9 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Sign Plan to allow for the modification of existing ground 10 signs and the addition of one directional ground sign. He reported that a 41 year resident of the 11 City spoke at the public hearing regarding his concerns about safety and clutter resulting from 12 the additional signs. Mr. Poucher stated the Planning Commission voted in two separate motions 13 on the proposed amendment to the Sign Plan: 1) The first motion was made and approved by 14 majority vote, the proposed modification of existing ground signs and the addition of a ground 15 sign at 3800 Silver Lake Road; 2) The second motion was made and approved by unanimous 16 vote, the addition of a directional sign as proposed by the applicant. 17 18 Commissioner Poucher presented the site plan and Photoshop examples of the requested signage. 19 20 Commissioner Jenson inquired about the concerns expressed at the public hearing regarding a 21 potential obstruction of view. Commissioner Poucher replied that most of this concern was in 22 relation to the proposed new directional sign because it is located at an intersection. There could 23 also be concern with the proposed location of the new ground sign where traffic will be entering 24 the parking lot. 25 26 City Manager Morrison clarified that the proposed amendment covers two new signs and 27 modifications to two existing signs. 28 29 Mr. Dale Wenkus, Vice President of Architecture with Doran Companies, and Ms. Brenda 30 Thomas, Vice President of Property Management with Doran Companies, were present to 31 answer questions of the City Council. 32 33 Councilmember Stille verified with Ms. Thomas that a two foot increase in height is proposed 34 for the Cub sign, which includes the one foot addition and one foot cap. 35 36 Mr. Wenkus stated for clarification, it is proposed that six feet be added to the Cub sign, which is 37 located at the most northerly corner. It is proposed that one foot and a one foot cap be added to 38 the sign in front of Smash Burger. The third sign along Silver Lake Road would be similar in 39 design to the existing sign in front of Smash Burger. 40 41 Mayor Faust questioned why the resolution states a height of 31 feet for the Cub sign while the 42 amendment being proposed includes a height of 26 feet. Mr. Wenkus explained that the original 43 PUD included approval for a monument sign at a maximum of 31 feet in height at this location. 44 It was elected to only put in a sign that is 20 feet high. The request now is for an additional six 45 feet in height, which remains within the 31 foot height restriction that was originally included in 46 the CUP. 2
